Our Story

The Free Grace Baptist Church of Chilliwack, B.C. formally constituted in January 1998 by God’s grace.

We affirm the classical, Christian doctrine of the triune God codified in the early Christian creeds, affirm the five “solas” of the Reformation, and we fully subscribe the 2nd London Confession of Faith of 1677/1689 as our doctrinal standard.

We are committed to preaching the whole counsel of God for the glory of God, the salvation of sinners, and the edification of the saints.

We strive to regulate our worship according to God’s word and seek, by His grace, to put into practice the various practical exhortations directed to believers and churches in the Scriptures.
